Weininger Resistance Sliding (WRS) is the brainchild of the UK’s first Gladiator Champion Weininger Irwin. The idea came whilst watching his two year old son sliding along the ground; it sparked the beginning of the Resistance Sliding idea. Resistance Sliding is a simple but very effective activity where the participant uses his/her bodyweight to move from point A to B. A major positive of Resistance Sliding is that it allows training/competition for disabled and able bodied participants with no concessions. It is also an ideal training complement for a variety of sports because it isolates and stimulates specific muscles groups, therefore conditioning and strengthening at the same time. Resistance Sliding exercises have been given the names of physiological terms for the muscles used (i.e. Triceps Pull, Quadricep Push, Hamstring Slide etc) in the exercise/event. Not only are the participants engaging in a variety of exercises, they are also learning the correct names of the muscles.
